Dyad

Strong soundtrack

Dyad is a fast tunnel-racing arcade puzzler where you hook enemies and chain lance combos to build momentum. Its neon sensory overload and reactive soundtrack make for a psychedelic, rhythmic experience.

Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam

Bright, upbeat tone

A downhill racing spin-off of the Tony Hawk series where you speed down famous city streets around the world. Tricks and speed decide who wins, and the game leans on motion controls.

140

Gameplay comes before story

A minimalist rhythm platformer by Jeppe Carlsen where platforms, hazards and obstacles move to the beat of a pulsing electronic soundtrack. Short, abstract and rhythmically demanding, it rewards timing by ear above all.

Heavy Metal Machines

Driving or flying

A free-to-play multiplayer vehicular combat game with MOBA-style team objectives, played in heavily armed cars. Its heavy metal flavor and deep customization define the experience.

Army Men

Bright, upbeat tone

You guide the green plastic commando Sarge through mission-based battles against a tan toy army, using bazookas, grenades, jeeps and tanks. It turns classic toy soldiers into a charmingly over-the-top war game.

Tron

Driving or flying

You pilot Light Cycles, tanks and fighters through four short arcade subgames set in the neon grid of the film Tron. Its appeal lies in the minimalist neon look and quick, reflex-driven duels against the computer or a second player.

LocoRoco

Bright, upbeat tone

Instead of controlling the character, you tilt the world to roll, bounce and grow cheerful singing blobs through vivid levels. Charming, relaxed, and full of unmistakable style and music.

Auditorium

Gameplay comes before story

You bend beams of light through abstract levels, dye them to match colored containers and fill them. Each filled container adds another instrument to the music, so you build the soundtrack piece by piece yourself.
